I am not sure why, but my ob checked me for it on my first visit, at about 11 weeks. The test came out so high that he put me straight on the diet without doing the 3 hour test. I thought it would be a real pain to have to take my blood sugar 4 times a day, but it hasn't been so bad, and although I am not happy that I have this, I feel so much better that my diet is regulated, and it has made me stay away from food (like sweets) that I don't need anyway. I was just wondering if anyone else had GD, and how you felt about it.
